Yes, a life time dream to build and run a Hemi. First Hemi for me. As a hobbiest, I have built 4 sb mopars, 1 BB, 1 sb Chevy and a 400 Pontiac. 1 sb mopar did not survive, had an oiling issue and came apart on the Dyno after 45 minutes of run time. Trying to be sure to get everything right and no failures. I can’t afford any mistakes with this one.
I’m building this short block in the basement where it’s warm. Here’s some pics of my little work area.
